[Mgs] '71 MGB Prop/drive shaft bolts and nuts -- use Nylok or regular nuts?

[Mike Eldred]

About 70 years ago my grandfather, a diesel
mechanic/welder/blacksmith/machinist, cut a trap door into the wood floor of
his shop to make a handy grease pit.  Thanks to Gramps, I can just walk under
my car, reach up, and wrench on anything under the car.  It has allowed me to
work when various back injuries would otherwise have halted progress.
